Eph 2: 11- 22

11 Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called “uncircumcised” by those who call themselves “the circumcision” (which is done in the body by human hands)— 12 remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

14 For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, 15 by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, 16 and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. 17 He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. 18 For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.

19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. 21 In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. 22 And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.

Eph 3: 1 - 13

For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles—

2 Surely you have heard about the administration of God’s grace that was given to me for you, 3 that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly. 4 In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, 5 which was not made known to people in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets. 6 This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.

7 I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace given me through the working of his power. 8 Although I am less than the least of all the Lord’s people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the boundless riches of Christ, 9 and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things. 10 His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, 11 according to his eternal purpose that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord. 12 In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence. 13 I ask you, therefore, not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.

20 Then came to him the mother of Zebedees children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him. 21 And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom. 22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able. 23 And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father. 24 And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren. 25 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. 26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; 27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: 28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

Lower Than Angels

Hebrews 2:5-18

Heb. 2:5

Angels are not in charge

Reference to the future age when Jesus will return and reign on earth for 1000 years. Jesus will be ruling, not the angels. We will rule with Jesus (Rev. 20:6)

Heb. 2:6-9 references Psalm 8

Heb. 2:6

We are nothing as people, but God takes notice of us.

God became low, a man, to redeem us.

Heb. 2:7

Psalmist references mankind, but the author of Hebrews sees it as Messianic and pointing to Jesus.

For a little while, Jesus was lower than angels in that he come from heaven to earth to redeem us.

Heb. 2:8

Now everything is under his feet (Gen. 3:15, Phil. 2:9)

All is subjected to Jesus; we just don't see it yet.

Heb. 2:9

BUT we DO see Jesus

He made himself low to die and redeem us to himself.

This gift is for everyone!

Heb. 2:10-16

He is captain of our salvation.

Jesus is not ashamed to call us brother -- it's a deep, intimate relationship.

References to Ps. 22 and Is. 8

Jesus has destroyed the devil and we shouldn't fear him.

We can be free of the fear of death. (Gal. 2)

Heb. 2:17

Christ became like us in all ways

He serves as our high priest. We can go straight to him rather than through a person or saints.

He is our propitiation (satisfaction of the wrath of God on sin). 1 John 2

Heb. 2:18

Jesus was also tempted. He understands our needs and lives.

Hev. 3:10

Reference to Psalm 95

Hardened heart = "I've heard this before and have nothing to learn" attitude

Warnings: hold fast and don't harden your heart

Example of Israelites in the wilderness from Exodus and Numbers 20

Heb. 3:11

Reference to Ps. 95:11

Matthew 11:28 -- rest

We leave the world when we accept Christ, but we need to grow into what God has for us (rest).

March 8, 2015: Better Promises

Hebrews 8:1-13

Heb. 8:1 Summation of the previous chapter

Jesus is your high priest.

He is seated next to the Father. His sacrifice is finished unlike other priests who must keep sacrificing.

Heb 8:2 He is in the true tabernacle which God built.

Heb. 8:3

High priest's job was to give sacrifices.

Jesus gave sacrifice too, but it is superior to the others.

Heb. 8:4

If Jesus were still here, he could not be your high priest.

Heb. 8:5

The earthly tabernacle is a shadow of heaven.

It's a copy pointing to the heavenly tabernacle.

Heb. 8:6

Jesus has a superior ministry. He can make us right. Levitical priesthood meant continual sacrifices, but it never took away sin.

Jesus has a better covenant. The old covenant was dos and don'ts, and no one can keep all. In Christ, his blood cleansed us. We don't have to keep the law in our strength. We live under the grace of God. We cannot just do whatever we want; God wants us to live holy lives. (Romans 6:14-15, Galatians 5:16)

Jesus has better promises. We are children of God, cleansed from sin, and filled with the Holy Spirit. The Old Testament promises are encompassed in the New Testament which has even more. (Romans 10:13, Hebrews 7:25, Luke 11:13, Luke 3:16, Acts 2:39, John 14:13-14, John 14:12, John 10:10, Romans 8:38-39, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Romans 8:14-17, Revelation chapters 2-3).

Heb. 8:7

If the old were perfect, they would not need a new covenant.

Heb. 8:8-10

The new covenant is on our hearts when we come to Christ.

Heb. 8:11-12

Grace & mercy

Heb. 8:13

The old is obsolete; we don't need to live under it.

Don't try to live under the law, but live by the Spirit.

John 3:16

Grace and peace to you from God our Father.[b]

3 We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, 4 because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all God’s people— 5 the faith and love that spring from the hope stored up for you in heaven and about which you have already heard in the true message of the gospel 6 that has come to you. In the same way, the gospel is bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole world—just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood God’s grace. 7 You learned it from Epaphras, our dear fellow servant,[c] who is a faithful minister of Christ on our[d] behalf, 8 and who also told us of your love in the Spirit.
